It’s what has got to be one of the oddest excuses for accidently running over your pet, Diane Keaton recently rolled her hybrid over her fat dog, Red, because the SUV was too quiet. From the article,
“I ran over my dog! I had a Lexus, like a hybrid, and it’s silent and I was going into my driveway and my dog Red was there and I didn’t see him! Red is great. Red lived. This dog is 15 years old. I found him on the street. The truth is Red had no injuries because he’s so fat. I ran over him on his rib cage and they didn’t break! He is rolled in fat. And thank God, it’s good to know, because you want to be bigger if you get run over! I love that dog so much, he’s a miracle dog. Thank God Red made it!”
The lesson everyone? If you own a hybrid, make sure your pets are really fat. You just never know.
I do give her credit for adopting her dog off the street, instead of getting him from an expensive breeder like too many celebs seem to do.
I’ve heard that hybrids being so quiet is also an issue for people who are blind…they can’t judge as well if a car is coming or not.
